National Trust: unreasonable to drones?

So, by that logic, if a visitors dog bites me on a NT property, the NT is liable? Sounds unlikely.

They have signs that say dogs must be kept on a lead. That’s their cover.

Only if they knew the dog was dangerous and let it on property.

They have to know there is a risk to property, injury or life to be made liable.

It comes under the Occupiers Liability Act 1957.

They have a duty of care to anybody on their property.

If they knowingly allow anything with a risk of injury they could be liable if another visitor is injured.

Perhaps we could offer to tether our drones :rofl:

I’m really liking the idea of getting in before the ‘public’ for a few reasons. Mainly because I don’t want pedestrians spoiling my scenic photos :blush: but also because as mentioned above, if there are no members of the public millling around it greatly reduces any (perceived?) liability or risk issues NT may be worrying about :+1:

That would be your best bet.

Let them know you have public liability and willing to fly out with public hours.

There’s probably also some kind of agreement where you assume all liability in the event of an accident on your part.

We use it with contractors at work.
